What is the most embarassing moment your child had done in public?

When my son was 2 years old, he liked to walk at the mall touching the walls, glass displays, just about everything. Now, there was a time while I was checking some item while holding on to his hand, when I heard this little shriek closeby. When I turned around, I was shocked to see my little boy's left hand holding on to this lady's leg, his hand inside her short skirt. I gently pulled my son away from the lady's leg and apologized so many times while trying to walk away. The lady was clearly embarassed but when she recovered from her "little intruder", she laughed at what happened. So, from what I can remember, that was the most memorable, embarassing moment my son did. Hmmm....maybe when he's a lot older, I'll remind him of that. That is, if I can still remember!

Sorry, Lakota. I was sick these past few days and just recovered yesterday. Still, feeling a bit tired but I'm tired of lying down almost the whole day, trying to get some rest. That was really an awkward moment. But how did the ladies react?

I think the most embarrassing was when I took her into the toilets (my eldest) we went into a toilet and she shouted for all to hear mummy you go first youre desperate dont wee yourself, much laughing and giggling from outside and I was tempted to not leave the toilet again lol. I have never ever told my daughter than im desperate for the toilet in public again.

Hi kezabelle. Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you. I was sick these past few days and just recovered yesterday. That was sure awkward.Your daughter must have thought it was an "emergency" situation. I understand the feeling of needing to use the toilet at once. The people who couldn't help but laugh must have thought it was a cute thing your daughter did. But embarassing for you.Don't worry, other moms must have gone through the same thing.

your kid is very naughty jcj! let's hope he doesn't grow naughty and do stuff like that when he's already an adult. ^__^;; i don't have any kids since i'm still single but i've gone out with my little nephew a lot of times. and yeah, he's done some embarrassing stuffs too. there are two incidents which i could remember. the first one was when we went to a fastfood chain, Jollibee. we were on the line waiting for our turn. you know how kids are, they are usually impatient. well it seemed he couldn't wait any longer, he suddenly shouted "french fries" to the top of his lungs and that caught the attention of the other customers. it was a little embarrassing but i thought it was funny. the other incident was when we were in an arcade. he wanted to ride the horse which rocks back and forth. but whenever i try to put him on the seat, he would get scared and he would cling to me like a gecko ("tuko"). we went through that for a couple of times and there were other kids in the line and their adult companions seemed to be losing their patience. i couldn't do anything but to give up and fall back again in the line. ^__^;;
